Job Description:
We seek a self-motivated individual to take on a variety of tasks related to computational programming and analysis in our newly formed Single Cell Genomics Core facility. The Programmer is responsible for implementing and developing computational pipelines and providing computational support to meet the analysis demands of the Core. The Programmer will also be expected to develop pipelines to automate established procedures that are used for data analysis of single cell sequencing data. The Programmer will be responsible for software development of novel methods customized for the Single Cell Genomics Core users, and integrate new methods into existing software tools, such as the WASP system. The analyst will have a background in computer science and bio-informatics. Responsibilities:

ABOUT US: Founded in 1955, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) is one of the nation’s premier institutions for medical education, basic research and clinical investigation. A full-time faculty of some 2,000 conducts research, teaches, and delivers health care in every major biomedical specialty. The college has some 730 medical students, 193 Ph.D. students, 106 MD/Ph.D. students and 275 postdoctoral fellows. Einstein’s major strength, in addition to training physicians and scientists, is its science. During fiscal year 2015, the faculty’s consistently high level of scientific achievement resulted in the awarding of more than $150 million in peer-reviewed grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Einstein is part of Montefiore Medicine Academic Health System, an integrated academic delivery system comprising seven campuses, including 8 hospitals, a multi-county ambulatory network, a new state-of-the art “hospital without beds”, a skilled nursing facility, school of nursing, home health agency, and the state’s first freestanding emergency department. As the University Hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore is a premier academic health system, employing Einstein’s clinical faculty and training Einstein’s medical students, over 1,300 residents, 420 allied health students, and 1,600 nursing students annually. The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran or disabled status, or genetic information. Einstein seeks candidates whose skills, and personal and professional experience, have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence, and the communities we serve. The Ruth L. and David S. Gottesman Institute for Stem C ell Biology and Regenerative Medicine was created following a large philanthropic gift from the Gottesman family to provide individual investigators and multidisciplinary teams with the resources needed to realize the promise of this emerging field. Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean, and faculty of Albert Einstein C ollege of Medicine has designated space on the first floor of the Michael F. Price C enter for Genetic and Translational Medicine and Harold and Muriel Block Research Pavilion, and renovated space in other buildings (Chanin, Ullmann, Kennedy) to establish an institute that would set the standard in stem cell research and regenerative medicine, nationally and internationally. The Institute’s mission is: i) to advance the scientific knowledge in stem cell biology and breakthroughs in regenerative medicine through faculty interactions, research support and education; ii) to foster collaborations and innovations by bridging scientific fields and overcome natural departmental barriers; iii) to translate basic science discoveries into novel stem cell-based therapies that impact clinical care.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
